Polpewpew Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Long story short, I just did my first complete teardown, slight polish job and reassemble. Being an absolute noob i was bound to muck it up, that is why I had ordered a few pins and parts that are repeatedly mentioned as "loosable" or particularly fragile in the forum. The thing is, one if the things i messed up is the right side ambidextrous safety "thingy", basically got a piece of roll pin stuck in it so badly I have decided to give up and buy a new one. The thing is, I have my first ever competition Saturday and there us no way the new safety is getting here in time. I have seen other safety models that don't go all the way through the frame and don't protrude so..... Is it safe to only have the left side attached? I'm from spain and parts are not really rapidly available here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT_Schultz Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 You'll probably get an answer in time if you ask this question in the Tanfoglio section of the technical forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisMechanic Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Yes, you should be fine. The left side of the safety goes in with a snap, after all, and should not drift out of the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polpewpew Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 Oh my goodness THE PART ARRIVED!!! On other news i have determined i will need to buy rollpin punches (???) or whatever that tool is called Memphis uses in the videos because i nearly destroyed the brand new one trying to put it in there...... any suggestions on those? By the way I have changed all the springs to lighter ones (the Xtreme ones) and im very happy with the results and excited for my first competition on Saturday!!!! I will probably polish a bit more after it but that's just because i enjoy the tinkering, it really has awakened something in me hahahah! Thank you all so much for the years of posting that i have gotten to absorb in a few short weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N7VY Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Polish. And when you think you polished it enough, polish some more. Very therapeutic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
